Apr 26 March 26 th International Epilepsy day

Hello friends,
When Bella was younger she has had some seizures first was absent seisures then we did a huge amount of sleep studies and video eegs both awake and sleep deprive.
We have had a lot of test infact during one of the testing I had an awaking moment. I was sitting in a room next to the cancer ward and crying poor me stories and feeling sorry for myself and scared of the future my daughter would have. Then a little girl with a bald head come out and I lost it and broke down into tears. I had my ah ha moment that it could be worst and she will get better and now she is turning 12 I am forever greatful she has been seziure free for 5 years. Epilepsy is something we both had had.
When I was younger I had seizures infact one of my fathers girlfriends told me that I had seizures and he ingored them and wouldn't take me to get test or treatments. I feel that is why I go out of my way to make sure that Bella get's the best quality care I can get for her.

March 26th marked International Epilepsy Day, also known as Purple Day. There were over 1,400 people talking about #PurpleDay this year, with almost 1,700 public posts across social media. Did you #DeclareYourRare? Join the conversation year-round with #epilepsy and #epilepsywarrior!

While epilepsy itself is not rare, there are many rare forms of epilepsy – and many people who experience seizures as part of their rare diseases. As with all rare diseases, you are not alone! Alone we are rare, but together we are strong.
